The WiMax countdown clock has been added to the Front Page of the Forums.  It's even in "Clear" Green.  Will begin a Sponsor the clock raffle soon!

I feel like I should experience WiMAX one last time.  But, nah, it is not gonna happen.

WiMax speeds are great currently and the tower that I am using was congested but it seems to "clear" up and I am pulling 10MB down. Not bad for the old network, up from 5-6MB down before.

Yeah, it will likely get better and better, right up until the end.  Just one month from now.

 

Definitely bittersweet.

The end is nigh.  The streets are nearly empty.  Most of the natives have packed up and moved elsewhere.  Those left are cowering with fear and huddling in churches.

Quote: "Beginning immediately, Kajeet will partner with school districts to trade-in unusable WiMAX devices obtained from other companies in exchange for Kajeet SmartSpot devices. Districts will need to confirm their service is on the WiMAX network with another company, and Kajeet will provide a new free SmartSpot for each received device, as well as low-price LTE service on the nation’s largest wireless network."

  • 2 months later...

is there any news on the protection sites? Or is it delayed because of the shutdown not being complete yet?

 

No news.  We probably will not have any more news until the WiMAX court order expires or gets extended.

 

In the meantime, do not have a massive attack.  Or do have a Massive Attack.  You have "Protection."

So does anyone have access to Wimax since the network is still up or is it only working for the parties that are part of the court case?

 

Check other relevant threads here at S4GRU.  Some still have been able to access WiMAX.  Others have not.  It is mixed.

I was driving a couple of days on CA-87 in the Downtown San Jose area and my good old Evo4G got 12MB down and 1.5MB up during heavy traffic. I'm still enjoying WiMax as long the system is on air and FreedomPOP is unable to meter WiMax data. Thank you Sprint, this reminds me the good old days of a BoostBerry!

    • After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!
    • Oct security update is out.
    • Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.
    • It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
    • Yeah both of those instances were on my AT&T s22 ultra. Seems ro be working as intended today in latest release.
